Heart failure is recognized as a global epidemic. Americans account for more than 22 percent of the 26 million worldwide HF population—a shocking 5.7 million adults.1-2 Despite great progress in improving outcomes in other cardiovascular diseases,3-4 American clinicians show only limited success in HF prevention and management. Inadequate or inappropriate medical therapy, regional variations in quality of care, cardiovascular differences between men and women, disparities in communities of color—including African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans—and inconsistencies in after-hospitalization management5-9 all contribute to a compelling need for HF education to engage and encourage collaboration among clinicians, patients, and caregivers to create practice change and improve patient outcomes.
